For several
years our dear friend, Francie Meza, managed one of our stores and taught
all of our staff about animal totems and crystal properties. She had
been trained from the age of 5 by her Native American medicine-man grandfather.
Much of the information above was written by Francie. We are ever grateful
for her input.
Some people ask, "Do stones really have the power to change us?" This
is an interesting question and the answer for you has a lot to do with
how you see the world and the universe. Frankly, the simple answer is, "No
object has more power than the power that is inside you."
If you believe the scientific view of the universe as a whole that is entirely
made of energy, then it is possible that your spiritual view of the world
is similar: that energy that we call God pervades every cell of our being
and every molecule of "inanimate" objects. We may sense the truth
of this in different ways. Those who can feel the vibrational energy of
objects report that stones each have their own energy that we can tune
into and use in our growth.
For those who don't "feel" the energy on that level, our view
is that we may be subtly influenced by the energy of stones regardless.
And, happily, we can offer this: Even the "suggestion" that a
stone can provide a boost to our process of growth and discovery can be
helpful. If you want to open your heart to love, forgiveness, acceptance,
why not wear a rose quartz necklace simply to remind you and strengthen
you in your commitment to making this positive change in your mind and
heart? In this view, you can see a stone as a talisman and representation
of the quality that you wish to develop.
